Behavioral Health Consultant (Hybrid)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of organization, role description, duties, qualifications, benefits, etc. We need headings:

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. There's no explicit Pay or Schedule specifics besides "Competitive salary, annual merit increases, plus room for growth and career advancement." That's vague; but we can include Pay section if there is mention of salary? It says "Competitive salary" but no specific numbers. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "Competitive salary" is vague but still states that there is a competitive salary; is that considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. The instruction says avoid placeholder like "commensurate with experience". "Competitive salary" might be considered vague but not necessarily placeholder. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state "Competitive salary, annual merit increases, plus room for growth and career advancement." So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Benefits: they list "At Erie, we are proud to provide competitive salaries, high-quality health care plans, generous time off benefits, retirement benefits, and more! Erie employees are eligible for Erie’s Full Benefits Package that includes Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability Insurance and Flexible Spending (FSA) for Health Care or Childcare. Retirement Programs: 401(k) program with Erie matching $0.50 for every $1.00 up to the first 5% of the employee’s biweekly salary. Annual Paid Time Off: starting at 20 days of PTO, and 8 paid holidays." So we have specific benefits. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (Main Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (Skills And Knowledge Required), Benefits (Benefits), Pay (Compensation). Possibly also "Qualifications" separate from Skills? The posting has "Qualifications Education" and "Skills And Knowledge Required:" So we can have Qualifications (education/licensure) and Skills (skills). Also maybe "About the role" includes the introductory paragraph about Erie and role description. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for "Behavioral Health Consultant". Good. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists where appropriate. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "Join the Erie team! Motivated by the belief that healthcare is a human right, we provide high quality affordable care to support healthier people, families, and communities. Erie delivers holistic care to help every member of the family stay healthy and active from infancy through adulthood. Since 1957, we have provided high-quality care to diverse patients most in need, regardless of their insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. Erie Family Health Centers, a nationally recognized top workplace with 14 sites in Chicago and suburbs, is looking for a valuable addition to our Behavioral Health team! The Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) position is a behavioral health provider who operates both in a consultative role within the primary care setting and serves as a member of the Behavioral Health Program. The employee provides PCP-initiated consultation services that may include differential diagnosis, screenings, psychoeducation, brief intervention, and referral for further treatment. In addition, the BHC will maintain a case load, providing individualized mental health assessments, treatment, and counseling, as appropriate." That's the role description. Then "At Erie, we are proud to provide competitive salaries, high-quality health care plans, generous time off benefits, retirement benefits, and more! Erie employees are eligible for Erie’s Full Benefits Package that includes Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability Insurance and Flexible Spending (FSA) for Health Care or Childcare.

Compensation is based on each candidate's experience, skills, and education within the range identified for the role. Candidates who meet the minimum requirements of the role will start at entry in the range. Any additional skills, experience, and education will be reflected in the compensation offered." That's benefits and pay. Then "Main Duties & Responsibilities Clinical: approx. 80% of the timeBrief Consultations– Productivity expectation of a trained BHC is an average of 8-10 behavioral health consultations, at least 60% clinical time allocated for warm hand-offs and same day visits per clinical day, including:Individual, couples, and/ or family consultation with patients, including:Functional and strength-based assessment and diagnosis; Psychoeducation for patients and their support systems; Medication adherence counseling and disease self-management counseling; Motivational Interviewing to develop behavioral strategies aimed at symptom reductionBrief problem-solving cognitive intervention aimed at modifying negative thinking and promoting self-efficacy.

Supervise 1st and 2nd year interns, based on need and availability.Charting – Completes all EMR charting within 48 hrs. as needed and required by contacted funding sources: including assessments, progress notes, and billing." We need to break that into a list of duties/responsibilities. Then "Qualifications Education Master’s degree in a Behavioral Health discipline (e.g., Social Work, Psychology, Mental Health Counseling, etc.) with a valid Illinois State Licensure as appropriate to discipline." Then "Skills And Knowledge Required: Prior work experience as a LSW or LPC in medical setting or Federally Qualified Health Center preferred.Cultural competency to work in a low income, minority environment.Ability to maintain confidentiality and trust of clients.Bilingual fluency (English/Spanish) and bi-cultural competency required (may be required to work with non-English/Spanish only speaking patients and/or guests). Preferred: Demonstrates knowledge and application of behavior change, adult learning, and group process theoriesCommunity resources orientedComputer skills (MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Publisher, etc.)Time management skillsDetailed oriented Ability to multi-taskAbility to conduct individual and/or group presentations" We need to separate required vs preferred? The posting lumps them. We'll just list all as skills. We need to avoid duplication. There's some repeated phrases like "Competitive salary" appears twice; we can keep once. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  But we need to keep it simple: maybe just a flat list of duties. However we need to preserve all detail. Could break into sublists but still using
  • . That's fine. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Next:

    Qualifications
